Should be out later tonight or first thing in the morning. We are playing on the east coast- I expect the first game of the tournament on Thursday morning. But maybe the late game on Thursday as well?

There are 4 games in Greensboro on Thursday -

Here is my projection
Texas vs. Minnesota - 11 a.m.
Duke vs. Binghamton - 2 p.m.
NC vs. Radford - 6 p.m.
LSU vs. Butler - 8:30 p.m.

I would be okay with this honestly. I believe NC will get the primetime matchup because they are a number 1 seed.

Since the first round 1 vs. 16 is usually a blow out, they don't usually put it in a prime time.

Yep. LSU will play later in the afternoon/night on Thursday.

My guess would be the following:

Day 1 - UNC vs. Radford - Blowout no one watches
Day 2 - LSU vs. Butler - By way of having to play during the day with UNC.

Primetime 1 Illinois vs. W. Kentucky - People love watching the 5 vs. 12
Primetime 2 Gonzaga vs Akron - Interesting game with a decent west coast viewership

Not all the time though. 2 years ago, Florida put the beat down on Jackson State in primetime Friday night.
